Open Thread, 7/27: Padres vs Pirates and HOF Induction Day
Jake Peavy takes the morning game today. At the same time, two of the more influential, but less memorialized former Padres enter the Hall of Fame today in the form of Goose Gossage and Dick Williams. Padres memories will once again abound at the Hall of Fame Induction ceremony this year. Dick Williams managed Goose while they were both with the Padres in the WS year of '84. Great USA Today article on the two.
Gossage, pitching for the San Diego Padres, was ordered by manager Dick Williams to intentionally walk Gibson in Game 5 of the World Series. The Tigers, leading 5-4 in the eighth inning, had runners on second and third when Gibson stepped to the plate. Gossage ignored the intentional walk sign, and when Williams came out, Gossage convinced him he could retire Gibson.
Two pitches later, Gibson homered into the right-field upper deck, giving the Tigers an 8-4 lead, sealing the Tigers' World Series title.
A Padres closer that couldn't seal the deal in a big game? A Padres manager that was ineffective in getting his players to perform? How things change. How they stay the same.
All kidding aside. Congratulations Goose and Dick! More Padres lore enters the Hall.
GO PADRES!!

2 LOB
but at leat Maholm had to cough up 21 pitches for the inning. I guess this is supposed to be the staff ace.

It can be done
At the start of play today, Jake Peavy had the same batting average as Scott Hairston.

But the second half of the season he mashes. Batting .365 this month

WHY
Why steal the pitcher for the final out? now he will be fatigued for the next inning.
by SDfaninAZ on Jul 27, 2008 11:51 AM PDT 0 recs
I think he did that on his own
Maddux totally tired himself out doing that.
Jake wanted a stolen base, too.

Jake
I am truly feeling sorry for the guy. He honestly believes that if he’s starting that day, he has to win the whole game by himself.
I hope this season doesn’t burn him out.

Doesnt make sense
Best case scenario is he is at 2nd. Even with a basehit, he is still going to have to run hard to score, making him even more tired. He has to conserve his energy.

Maybe he just got tired of watching his offense hit (or lack there of) and just wanted to pitch instead.

Menkawhatever(M) called time
Then, right in the middle of Jake’s windup, M called time AGAIN. M slowly gets back in box.
Then, Jake looked at him squarely and said “Are you ready now?” M took offense.
Josh got around in front of M between them.
The ump should have NOT stopped Jake in the middle of his windup.
So bush league.
Thank goodness Jake got out of the inning unscathed.
